The West Virginia Base Map Viewer from MapWV.gov is an interactive map viewer designed to provide the best available spatial data information available to computer users that do not have access to stand-alone GIS software. For the sake of completeness the MapWV.gov team has assembled spatial data from many sources, across several scales. As a result, the user simultaneously views data of varying accuracies and completeness. For instance, at present, the best available vector road data is from the United States Census Bureau. Viewed against other data of similar scales and source, this data is accurate within an acceptable threshold. Viewed against more current, higher resolution information * such as the SAMB orthophotos * the data appears inaccurate. This is an unfortunate side effect of the data itself and not the application. MapWV.gov strives to continuously improve the quality of our users experience by incorporating better datasets as they become available.
